Implementation of first time right practice in software development process

Fault Slip Through (FTR) is the concept aimed to improve the software development process. This practice focuses on designing the quality (preventing actions) instead of solving problems (corrective actions). The overall initiative results in continuous improvements and provides a mechanism for propagating the lessons learned between projects to further improve the organization. It also provides clear and effective way to set and follow quality expectations at project level. FTR enables and emphasizes management commitment and control by using verifiable criteria for desired quality outcome and introduces a common measurement framework for systematical data collection, analysis and comparison. This paper gives an overview of FTR concept. Proposals for practice improvement and some initial results analysis are also presented.
